Ceres and Vesta, two of the largest bodies in the asteroid belt, offer contrasting yet complementary geological records that illuminate early Solar System processes. Ceres exhibits a diverse landscape ...
The Planetary Geology Department studies the solid surfaces of planets, moons, and small bodies in the solar system. Geological mapping as well as morphological and spectral analyses provide a record ...
Recent explorations have fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the geological evolution of both Ceres and Vesta. Ceres, the largest object in the main asteroid belt, exhibits a diverse ...
